Does ammonia sink or float?
Sink or float... on what? - The general rule is that an object will float if it has less density than the fluid (gas or liquid) in which it is placed.
Does the element Iron float or sink in water?
yes iron does float in water yes iron does float in water
Does water float on gas?
Yes, gasoline floats on top of water. Here's a school website with a simple explanationand diagrams about why it does float on water: http://water.me.vccs.edu/courses/ENV110/lesson20_2b.htm
What happens to an object when it is placed in a less dense liquid or gas?
The density of the object goes through the less denser liquids until it gets to a liquid that is more dense than it. The first liquid that is denser than the object, the object will float on the liquid. My class did this in Science Class.
Can bone China float on water?
Both.Some fish have an air bladder. Some don't.It's also called a swim bladder or gas bladder. It makes it easy for fish to control their buoyancy, and stay at the level they want without a lot of extra swimming.
How do you know whether something will float or sink?
It depends on the density of the solid, liquid, or gas. If the density is lower than water it will float. (Water's density is about 1). Also, if the volume of the solid, liquid, or gas is bigger than the mass then it will also float. It will sink if the solid, liquid, or gas's density is higher than water's density. :)
If gasoline is poured into liquid water will in float or sink?
Gasoline will float because it has a lighter density than water. Water has a density of 1.0 g/cm3 and gas has a density of about 0.7 g/cm3

What stone do not sink in water?
A pumice stone is light weight due to numerous trapped gas bubbles that can cause it to float on water.
Why does a ship made of steel float when steel is dense enough to sink in water?
The ship has enough gas in it to keep it afloat.
Can fluorine float in water?
Fluorine is a gas, so it will neither sink nor float, it will expand to fill whatever container it's in. If bubbled through water, it will quickly rise to the surface then dissipate.
Does the element Iron float or sink in water?
yes iron does float in water yes iron does float in water
Would Saturn float?
Saturn (the planet) would float if you could find anything large enough for it to float in. The density of Saturn is 0.687 g/cm³ which is less than water. However, the density of Saturn (the planet) is always calculated as the "mean density", indicating that the mass of the core, water, and gasses are all combined to provide the total mass of the planet, and the volume, including the gas mantle is used to calculate mean density. Naturally the gas mantle will float, since it is significantly less dense than water, but if the planet were placed in a theoretical container of water, the gas would no longer be a significant part of the process, and the core of the planet would sink. So... it depends on how you're deciding whether the planet will float. Are you putting a large balloon around it then putting it into the theoretical container of water? Yes, it will float if that's what you're doing. But if the gas of the planet is allowed to act as a gas, everything changes... you decide. Saturn (the vehicle) would float briefly, while the windows and doors are closed, but as air is displaced, water would fill the inside of the vehicle and it would sink. If you wanted to fill the interior with beach balls or something else that would hold air... it would probably float.
How does mixing baking soda water vinegar and raisins make the raisins float up then sink?
raisins will float due there carbonarion and the raisins low density level in them.
How many planets float?
Hope I could help ^_^The simple fact is, there is no body of water large enough to float a planet in, but also, some planets are made of gas, and the atmosphere would rip the planet apart, and the ones made of rock would most likely sink.
Will nitrogen sink or float in water?
Nitrogen, N(2) being a gas at room temperature would float. Liquid Nitrogen, N(2) would immediately expand into the gaseous form on contact with water, therefore it would also float. Liquid Nitrogen is also a little less dense than water therefore would also float regardless of other circumstances.
Which planet is less dense and can float?
Saturn is a gas planet, and if it were possible to place it in water it would float. Not sure if the rings would float, but, the planet itself would.
